git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/liveupdate/linux Pull more liveupdate updates from Mike Rapoport: "Make boot time huge page allocation work nicely with kexec handover. Today allocation of gigantic pages in HugeTLB cannot work reliably with kexec handover (KHO): - HugeTLB allocates gigantic pages using memblock and autoscaling of KHO scratch accounts for these allocations. When gigantic pages occupy half of the memory of more, KHO fails to allocate its scratch memory. - After kexec handover, memblock allocations exclusively use KHO scratch that is not supposed to contain preserved memory. This essentially blocks preservation of HugeTLB with gigantic pages. Extend early memory pools available for KHO kernel with areas that are guaranteed not to contain preserved memory" * tag 'liveupdate-v7.3-rc1-20260823' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/liveupdate/linux: (21 commits) kho: exclude hugetlb memory from scratch size calculation memblock: add memblock_reserved_hugetlb_size() memblock: make HugeTLB bootmem allocation work with KHO memblock: always include KHO headers kho: extend scratch mm/mm_init: don't rely on memblock to get KHO scratch migratetype kho: initialize preserved memory map radix tree earlier kho: initialize kho_scratch pointer earlier in boot kho: expose kho_scratch_overlap() to kexec_handover.h kho: add kho_radix_init_tree() kho: allow destroying KHO radix tree kho: allow early-boot usage of the KHO radix tree kho: add data argument to radix walk callback kho: add callback for table pages kho: add a struct for radix callbacks kho: move all memory retrieval logic to kho_mem_retrieve() kho: store incoming radix tree in kho_in kho: disallow wide keys in radix tree kho: make radix max key width more obvious kho: generalize radix tree APIs ...

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

In order to use preempt_count() to track the interrupt disable nesting level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as their names suggest, these primitives return the new value of the preempt_count() after changing it. The following example shows the usage of it in local_interrupt_disable(): // increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET); // if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt // at hardware level. if ((new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK) == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) { local_irq_save(flags); raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state, flags); } Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.

2026-08-07locking/qspinlock: Add contended_release tracepointDmitry Ilvokhin
Unlike mutex and rw_semaphore, qspinlock has no owner field, so "perf lock contention --lock-owner" cannot attribute a contended spinlock to its holder. The waiter-side contention_begin event records that a spinlock is contended, but not by whom. Firing contended_release in the holder's context at unlock is the only way to capture the holder of a contended spinlock. Combine the contention check, trace call and release in an out-of-line queued_spin_release_traced() so the compiler need not preserve the lock pointer in a callee-saved register across the call. The check in queued_spin_unlock() is paid on every unlock, even while the tracepoint is disabled: a static-branch NOP on x86_64, and a few more instructions to manage a stack frame elsewhere. Gate it behind CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE (default n) so nobody pays for a tracepoint they do not use. Sleeping locks fire contended_release regardless. On x86 this generic path is used only with PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n (e.g. defconfig). PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y kernels keep the paravirt static_call unlock and are wired up separately. All below are with the QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE option enabled. _raw_spin_unlock(), x86_64 defconfig, GCC 11, tracepoint compiled in but disabled. The unlock is the single 'movb'. The only instruction added to the executed path is the 2-byte static-branch NOP. The CALL to the traced helper and the JMP back are emitted out of line and are reached only once the static branch is patched on: endbr64 ; 4 bytes xchg %ax,%ax ; 2 static-branch NOP ; (added) movb $0x0,(%rdi) ; 3 unlock (single store) A: decl %gs:__preempt_count ; 7 je B ; 2 jmp __x86_return_thunk ; 5 call queued_spin_release_traced ; 5 out of line, reached ; only when the ; tracepoint is on jmp A ; 2 (added) B: call __SCT__preempt_schedule ; 5 jmp __x86_return_thunk ; 5 Baseline is the same stream without the NOP and the out-of-line CALL/JMP: 31 bytes vs 40 (+9 bytes). Binary size impact on x86_64, defconfig: +680 bytes (+0.00%), since all standard configs out-of-line unlock. Architectures with inlined unlock (s390 (always), csky and loongarch (both when !PREEMPTION)) will see a bigger increase in binary size. On the same path (x86_64, PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n) with the tracepoint disabled, a _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload [1] shows no measurable difference between baseline and patched kernels in throughput, latency, cycles, instructions, IPC, or L1 instruction-cache misses (kernel and total): all deltas stay within run-to-run noise. Unlike x86, on arm64 the frame setup code (STP, MOV and LDP) lands on the executed path in addition to static-branch NOP. Binary size impact on arm64, defconfig: +932 bytes (+0.00%). The _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload reflects the larger hot path: L1 instruction-cache misses rise ~1.4% (kernel and total) and instruction count ~0.4%, consistent with the per-unlock frame. cpu_cycles, throughput and latency show no measurable change and are within run-to-run noise. Architectures with fully custom qspinlock implementations (e.g. PowerPC) are not covered by this change.

2026-08-07locking: Factor out queued_spin_release()Dmitry Ilvokhin
The contended_release tracepoint needs to hook queued_spin_unlock(), but architectures with a custom unlock define queued_spin_unlock() directly, leaving no single generic place to add the tracing. Introduce queued_spin_release() as the arch-overridable release primitive and make queued_spin_unlock() a generic wrapper around it. An architecture that only customizes the release can then override queued_spin_release() and inherit the generic wrapper. Rename the MIPS override to queued_spin_release() accordingly. x86 paravirt overrides queued_spin_unlock() directly and is left unchanged. No functional change intended.

Userfaultfd RWP will reuse the uffd-wp PTE bit to mark access-tracking PTEs, alongside the write-protected ones it already marks.

2026-08-03objtool/klp: Add .klp.symid for sympos disambiguationJosh Poimboeuf
Livepatch identifies a duplicate-named symbol by its position (sympos) among same-named kallsyms entries, which for vmlinux are counted in ascending address order in the final linked kernel. That order can't be reliably derived from vmlinux.o: the final link reorders sub-sections (.text.unlikely*, .data..*, etc). Bridge the gap with a new .klp.symid section which can be used to correlate symbols between vmlinux.o and vmlinux so that klp-diff can reliably determine the sympos. The table can't survive --gc-sections: keeping it alive would keep every duplicate-named symbol's section alive, so the reference kernel would stop matching the one which ships. klp-build rejects CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION instead. Nothing is lost today: x86_64 is the only HAVE_KLP_BUILD arch and doesn't select HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, arm64 and s390 have never selected it either, and on powerpc, it's still EXPERIMENTAL and disabled by every distro kernel. This is the build-time half of reliable vmlinux sympos computation; "objtool klp diff" will consume the table in a subsequent commit.

2026-07-30mm: fix ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS by passing memdesc_flags_t by pointerHui Zhu
KCSAN reports a data race between page_to_nid()/folio_pgdat() reading page->flags and folio_trylock()/folio_lock() concurrently doing test_and_set_bit_lock(PG_locked, ...) on the same word, e.g.: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __lruvec_stat_mod_folio / shmem_get_folio_gfp The race is benign: nid/zone bits are set once at page init and never overlap with PG_locked. However, ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() inside memdesc_nid/zonenum() was checking a by-value copy of the flags word, not the live page->flags, so it failed to annotate the real access. Change memdesc_nid(), memdesc_zonenum(), memdesc_section(), and memdesc_is_zone_device() to take a const memdesc_flags_t * and update all callers to pass &page->flags / &folio->flags, so ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() operates on the actual shared word. Guard the ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() call in memdesc_zonenum() under ZONES_WIDTH != 0 to avoid a zero-mask check on configs where the zone field is absent. memdesc_section() needs no such guard, since SECTIONS_WIDTH is never 0 wherever SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS is defined. Under CONFIG_NUMA=n, memdesc_nid() itself is stubbed to "return 0" instead of reading page->flags, since NODES_MASK is 0 and the check can never fire; page_to_nid()/folio_nid() now just call memdesc_nid() unconditionally and rely on that stub, instead of duplicating the CONFIG_NUMA split at each call site.

2026-07-22bitops: make the *_bit_le functions use unsigned longBenjamin Marzinski
The *_bit_le functions use a signed integer for the bit number. However, the *_bit functions can use an unsigned long. This causes problems if there is a large bitmap and a bit number > 0x80000000 is passed in. Since that is a negative int, it will get sign extended to a long when getting passed to the *_bit function, turning it into a huge bit number. This usually ends up with the memory address wrapping around and the function accessing memory before the start of the bitmap. Avoid this by making the *_bit_le functions take an unsigned long. This can be triggered by faking an almost 4TB dm-mirror device, which uses bitmaps to track the mirror regions: $ dmsetup create bigzero --table '0 8589934590 zero' $ dmsetup create mymirror --table '0 8589934590 mirror core 2 2 nosync 2 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0' This will access memory before the start of the sync_bits bitmap, and likely hit the guard page of the previously allocated clean_bits bitmap, causing a kernel panic with the old code. I looked and didn't see any crazy code using the signed int to intentionally try and access bits before some address within the bitmap.

x86 asm/setup.h includes linux/kexec_handover.h. This is because it is used by setup.c and kaslr.c. But this inclusion is problematic. The header is included in many places, so it results in the KHO header being propagated there. Also, the setup header is used by realmode code. If KHO header includes things like mm.h, it causes a big dump of compilation failures. Nothing in setup.h uses anything from KHO. Remove the header from setup.h, and directly include it in setup.c. which does use things from KHO. Since kaslr.c is a part of the decompressor, avoid including linux headers there directly. Instead, split out struct kho_scratch, which is the only thing the kaslr.c uses, and move it to include/asm-generic/kexec_handover.h.

2026-06-29vdso: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in header filesThomas Huth
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.

The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up the robust list. That happens if another task manages to unmap the object containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF. In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time the access happens. User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.

2026-06-12rqspinlock: Fix order in raw_res_spin_(un)lock_irq to allow scheduleGabriele Monaco
raw_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore() calls raw_res_spin_unlock() and then restores interrupts, this means preemption is enabled when interrupts are still disabled (as part of raw_res_spin_unlock()) so this cannot trigger an actual preemption. This is inconsistent with other spinlock implementations (raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() and bpf_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore() itself). Adjust the macro to ensure interrupts are enabled before enabling preemption, allowing to schedule at that point. Make the same modification in the error path of raw_res_spin_lock_irqsave().

The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary. Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies the kconfig and avoids potential confusion. Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

2026-06-03percpu: Sanitize __percpu_qual include hellThomas Gleixner
Slapping __percpu_qual into the next available header is sloppy at best. It's required by __percpu which is defined in compiler_types.h and that is meant to be included without requiring a boatload of other headers so that a struct or function declaration can contain a __percpu qualifier w/o further prerequisites. This implicit dependency on linux/percpu.h makes that impossible and causes a major problem when trying to separate headers. Create asm/percpu_types.h and move it there. Include that from compiler_types.h and the whole recursion problem goes away. Fix up UM so it uses the generic header and includes it in the UM_HOST build, which pulls in compiler_types.h. The USER_CFLAGS fix was suggested by Richard.

2026-06-03locking/qspinlock: Clarify pending field layoutWEI-HONG, YE
For CONFIG_NR_CPUS < 16K, _Q_PENDING_BITS is 8 and the pending field occupies bits 8-15 of the lock word.

2026-05-28uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selectionYury Norov
The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly. However, all arches enable or disable them always together. Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone. Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

2026-05-28mm: skip KASAN tagging for page-allocated page tablesMuhammad Usama Anjum
Page tables are always accessed via the linear mapping with a match-all tag, so HW-tag KASAN never checks them. For page-allocated tables (PTEs and PGDs etc), avoid the tag setup and poisoning overhead by using __GFP_SKIP_KASAN. SLUB-backed page tables are unchanged for now. (They aren't widely used and require more SLUB related skip logic. Leave it later.)

2026-05-21ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panicMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded. To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

2026-05-08kprobes: skip non-symbol addresses in kprobe_add_ksym_blacklist()Jianpeng Chang
When kprobe_add_area_blacklist() iterates through a section like .kprobes.text, the start address may not correspond to a named symbol. On ARM64 with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y (introduced by commit baaf553d3bc3 ("arm64: Implement HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS")), the compiler flag -fpatchable-function-entry=4,2 inserts 2 NOPs before each function entry point for ftrace call_ops. These pre-function NOPs sit at the section base address, before the first named function symbol. The compiler emits a $x mapping symbol at offset 0x00 to mark the start of code, but find_kallsyms_symbol() ignores mapping symbols. Without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS (e.g. defconfig), no pre-function NOPs are inserted, the first function starts at offset 0x00, and the bug does not trigger. This only affects modules that have a .kprobes.text section (i.e. those using the __kprobes annotation). Modules using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead (like kretprobe_example.ko) blacklist exact function addresses via the _kprobe_blacklist section and are not affected. For kprobe_example.ko on ARM64 with -fpatchable-function-entry=4,2, the .kprobes.text section layout is: offset 0x00: $x + 2 NOPs (mapping symbol + ftrace preamble) offset 0x08: handler_post (64 bytes) offset 0x50: handler_pre (68 bytes) kprobe_add_area_blacklist() starts iterating from the section base address (offset 0x00), which only has the $x mapping symbol. kprobe_add_ksym_blacklist() then calls kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() for this address, which goes through: kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() -> module_address_lookup() -> find_kallsyms_symbol() find_kallsyms_symbol() scans all module symbols to find the closest preceding symbol. Since no named text symbol exists at offset 0x00, find_kallsyms_symbol() picks __UNIQUE_ID_vermagic (a .modinfo symbol whose address is in the temporary image) as the "best" match. The computed "size" = next_text_symbol - modinfo_symbol spans across these two unrelated memory regions, creating a blacklist entry with a bogus range of tens of terabytes. Whether this causes a visible failure depends on address randomization, here is what happens on Raspberry Pi 4/5: - On RPi5, the bogus size was ~35 TB. start + size stayed within 64-bit range, so the blacklist entry covered the entire kernel text. register_kprobe() in the module's own init function failed with -EINVAL. - On RPi4, the bogus size was ~75 TB. start + size overflowed 64 bits and wrapped to a small address near zero. The range check (addr >= start && addr < end) then failed because end wrapped around, so the bogus entry was accidentally harmless and kprobes worked by luck. The same bug exists on both machines, but randomization determines whether the integer overflow masks it or not. Fix this by adding notrace to the __kprobes macro. Functions in .kprobes.text are kprobe infrastructure handlers that should never be traced by ftrace. With notrace, the compiler stops inserting them and the non-symbol gap at the section start disappears entirely.

2026-04-22x86/hyperv: Skip LP/VP creation on kexecJork Loeser
After a kexec the logical processors and virtual processors already exist in the hypervisor because they were created by the previous kernel. Attempting to add them again causes either a BUG_ON or corrupted VP state leading to MCEs in the new kernel. Add hv_lp_exists() to probe whether an LP is already present by calling HVCALL_GET_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_RUN_TIME. When it succeeds the LP exists and we skip the add-LP and create-VP loops entirely. Also add hv_call_notify_all_processors_started() which informs the hypervisor that all processors are online. This is required after adding LPs (fresh boot) and is a no-op on kexec since we skip that path.
